I’m seeing this in other businesses too. Hell- some airlines now run ads on their inflight tv systems right after their safety videos. You, as a passenger who has paid their fare for a flight, must sit still, strapped in, and watch an ad on a screen straight ahead of you, with sound playing through the cabin, with no way to opt out. Ads are a disease.

If someone in the seat next to me decided to opt out by colouring over their screen with a sharpie, I would not stop them.
